The Amazing Human Brain

Our brains are so amazing. I received the following in an e-mail and was pretty amazed that I could read what it said despite the jumbled letters. Makes ya feel kind of smart! Read on and see for yourself!

I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulacltyuesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. Thephaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid Aoccdrnig to rscheearch at CmabrigdeUinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr theltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghitpclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Amzanig huh?

It's incredible to think that we can read all that as though it were spelt correctly. I guess it goes to show that we don't actually need spelling ability to read !! I think it helps, though !! Thanks for sharing.Take care, Meow

I've read this before and it really is an interesting concept. Yet, I work with some children who are dyslexic and this must be how their world is all the time. One paragraph is easy...but can you imagine how it would be all the time?
